Loretta Lynn's 2004 Jack White collaboration 'Van Lear Rose' was an unexpected triumph, cementing her legacy for a new generation of fans. How does it stand up to the rest of her formidable catalog? Allison Hussey digs in with us. open.spotify.com/episode/2cxar6… podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/lor…

went on the podcast of some pals to talk about Loretta Lynn and what her 2004 record with Jack White marked in her incredible career :)

'Van Lear Rose' contains the most original Loretta Lynn compositions of any album in her career, but it also sounds less like a traditional Loretta Lynn album than anything else she ever made. For better or worse, it's full of such contradictions, standing alone in her catalog.
